Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has declared that his endorsement of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election is intact, saying he can’t go back on his backing after giving his words of support.

Adeleke disclosed this in Osogbo on Sunday while receiving the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Ajibola Basiru and some prominent members of the party who had paid him a courtesy visit at the Osun Government House in Osogbo.

The governor recalled how he promised to support Tinubu’s candidates for the principal positions of the National Assembly and stuck to the decision, saying Tinubu also showed empathy when the government’s account was frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission a few days to the August 15 governorship poll.

“A lot of people thought it was politicking when I endorsed Mr President.

“From day one, during the election of the principal officer of the National Assembly, everybody was going in different directions.
